SUPER=03-Roanoke/Friday;

54 year old Spencer Jackson Dickason lived at the apartment where his body
was found on Friday.
The other man, 44 year old Odell Hairston had a northwest Roanoke address.
Investigators are hoping further tests will tell them who fired the gun.
Over the weekend, the medical examiner said both died from a single gunshot
to the head.
The bullets were the same caliber as a gun found at the scene, pointing to a
possible murder suicide.

P-Doll-Attack

Federal safety regulators are NOT taking any action on hair-eating dolls
that have been chomping on the locks of unsuspecting children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, however, is issuing a warning
about the Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids.
The doll is designed to chew automatically when plastic french fries or
other items are placed in its mouth.
It keeps eating until its plastic food drops into its backpack.
But the dolls' mechanical jaws have locked down on the hair of nearly
three dozen little girls--
Emmy Sivadge learned first-hand.
